| The Global Condom Use Self-Efficacy Scale | The Global Condom Use Self-efficacy measure consisted of three general statements about the perceived ability to use condoms in the future with a new partner: "I think I would succeed in using a condom when I have sex with a new partner," "I would find it difficult to use a condom when having sex with a new partner," and "I am not sure I could use a condom when I have sex with a new partner." The Specific Global Condom Use Self-efficacy measure contains 37 items such as technical skills, purchasing, carrying condoms, communication skills, control over emotions and sexual arousal that measure specific self-efficacy to use condoms with new partner. Factor analyses revealed 6 subscales (Technical Skills, Image Confidence, Emotion Control, Purchase, Assertiveness, and Sexual Control). The scores on these scales were obtained by summing the scores on the relevant items. | Baele, J., Dusseldorp, E., & Maes, S. (2001).

| Wulfert Condom Use Self-Efficacy | This is a global measure. The respondents were asked to answer one question: How confident are you that you will be able to use condoms for vaginal intercourse over the next 6 months? The response options are on a 7-point scale ranging from not at all confident (1) to extremely confident (7). | Wulfert, E., & Wan, C. K. (1993). Condom use: A self-efficacy model.

| Condom Self-Efficacy Scale (CUSES) | Condom Use Self-Efficacy Scale (CUSES) is designed to measure a person's expectations of success in all the various aspects of obtaining, using, disposing of, and negotiating the use of condoms with a sexual partner. "28 specific self-efficacy items were created with a scale ranging from strongly agree to disagree. The 15 factors were 1) personal experience with condoms, 2) embarrassment at purchase, 3) alcohol use, 4) not wanting to offend with the implication of uncleanliness, 5) reduction in excitement, 6) loss of spontaneity, 7) breaking the mood, 8) not being prepared, 9) unsure of partner's feeling about condoms, 10) embarrassment, 11) communication with partner, 12) embarrassment about talking about condoms, 13) afraid of partner's refusal of condom use, 14) ability to maintain an erection, and 15) fear of reputation." The examples of the questions: "I feel confident in my ability to put a condom on myself or my partner," or "I feel confident that I would remember to use a condom even after I have been drinking." | Brafford, L. J., & Beck, K. H. (1991). Development and validation of a condom self-efficacy scale for college students. Journal of American College Health, 39(5), 219-225. |

| Dimensions of self-efficacy among three distinct groups of condom users | It is based on CUSES, the measure developed by Brafford, L. J., & Beck, K. H. (1991). The authors determined four dimensions of the construct of condom use self-efficacy. Fifteen items (of 28-item initial scale) loaded to four factors: Mechanics, Disapproval, Assertive, and Intoxicants. | Brien, T. M., Thombs, D. L., Mahoney, C. A., & Wallnau, L. (1994).

| Predictors of AIDS-preventive behavioral intentions among adult heterosexuals at risk for HIV-infection: Extending current models and measures | Comparative versus Absolute Self-efficacy-measured to meet the principle of correspondence. Each subscale had three 5-point (very easy to very difficult) items that asked about the ease or difficulty of performing 3 behaviors-(use condoms with a new partner when you have intercourse; abstain from intercourse with a new partner when condom use is impossible and Insist on condom use with a new partner). For the comparative subscale -asked how much more difficult or less difficult each of the 3 behaviors was when compared with most other people. | Buunk, B. P., Bakker, A. B., Siero, F.

| Grimley Self-Efficacy for Condom Use | The questions ask about confidence to use condoms with main and other partners in specific sexual situations. Each of the scales has five items. An example item is "How confident are you that you would use a condom when you think your partner might get angry?" Response options are from 1 = not at all confident to 5 = very confident. | Grimley, D. M., Prochaska, J. O., Velicer, W. F., & Prochaska, G. E. (1995).

| Mausbach Self-Efficacy for Condom Use | The participants were asked to "to rate their confidence in performing 9 condom-related behaviors. These questions were as follows: (a) "I can use a condom properly", (b) "I can use a condom every time I have penetrative sex", (c) "I can have condoms available every time I have penetrative sex", (d) "I can use a condom in any situation", (e) "I can interrupt sex to use a condom", (f) "I can use a condom without any instruction", (g) "I can use a condom for penetrative sex while under the influence of drugs or alcohol", (h) "I can delay penetrative sex if a condom is not available" and (i) "I can use a condom for penetrative sex even when I am very sexually aroused". Responses for each item ranged from 0="strongly disagree" to 3="strongly agree". Responses to these nine items were summed to create an overall self-efficacy score (range = 0-27)." | Mausbach, B.

| An adolescent and young adult condom self-efficacy scale | "The scale consisted of 19 items about performance of a specific behavior in using a condom. The stem of the item asked "how sure" one was rather than asking "how confident" one was to be more understandable to adolescents." The potential responses were from very unsure (1) to very sure (5). | Hanna, K. M. (1999). An adolescent and young adult condom self-efficacy scale. Journal of Pediatric Nursing, 14(1), 59-66. |

| Perceptions of the benefits and costs associated with condom use and unprotected sex among late adolescent college students | The 14-item scale contains two subscales, one of which assesses self-efficacy to practice safer sex in general, and another one assesses it in potentially tempting situations. Each participant was asked to rate their level of agreement with each statement, using a 5-point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree, to 5=strongly agree). "The seven items in the self-efficacy for practicing safer sex scale assessed participants' confidence in using condoms correctly, negotiating safer sex with sex partners, preventing HIV/STD infection, engaging in alternatives to sexual intercourse, and refusing unsafe sex. The seven items in the situational temptation scale assessed participants' confidence in their ability to practice safer sex in potentially tempting situations, such as under the influence of alcohol/drugs, when depressed, when in love with the partner, or when condoms are not available." | Parsons, J. T., Halkitis, P. N., Bimbi, D., & Borkowski, T. (2000). Perceptions of the benefits and costs associated with condom use and unprotected sex among late adolescent college students.

| Confidence in Safer Sex (CSS) | The authors developed a 15 item scale to measure confidence for safer sex - "three items for each of the 5 primary factors of both confidence and temptation: negative affect, perceived low risk, sexual arousal, substance use and partner pleasure." Three "additional alternatives were developed - a 10 item general efficacy scale with 5 2-item subscales, and two alternative form 5-item general confidence or temptation scales (excluding subscales)." | Redding, C. A., & Rossi, J. S. (1999). Testing a model of situational self-efficacy for safer sex among college students: Stage of change and gender-based differences. Psychology & Health, 14(3), 467-486. |

| Effectiveness of a behavioral intervention for increasing safer sex behaviors in HIV-positive MSM methamphetamine users: Results from the EDGE study. | "All participants answered seven questions pertaining to their self-efficacy for negotiation safer sex: (a) "I can bring up the topic of safer sex with any partner", (b) "I can negotiate condom use with any partner", (c) "I could get my partner to use a condom if he/she doesn't want to", (d) "I can convince my partner(s) that condoms are erotic", (e) "If a partner doesn't want to use condoms, I can convince him/her to", (f) "Partners will agree to use condoms if I act hot", and (g) "I can persuade partners to try different types of condoms". Responses to items on this scale ranged from 0="strongly disagree" to 3="strongly agree". A total score was created by summing responses to the seven items (range = 0-21), with higher scores representing greater self-efficacy." | Mausbach, B. T., Semple, S. J., Strathdee, S.

| Kaneko Self-Efficacy of Safe Sex | "The questions regarding self-efficacy of safe sex included: (i) confidence to use condoms correctly from beginning (as soon as erection occurs) to end (ejaculation); (ii) confidence to use a condom under the influence of alcohol; (iii) confidence to refuse sex if neither my partner nor I have a condom at hand; (iv) confidence to discuss condom use with a new partner; (v) confidence to persuade my partner to use a condom; and (vi) confidence to refuse sex if my partner objects to using a condom. A five-point Likert type response format was used by respondents to rate items." "The perceived barriers to condom use items and self-efficacy of safe sex items were adopted from scales used in other studies (Helweg-Larsen and Collins 1994; Galavotti et al., 1995; Grimley et al., 1995)" to be used in the Japanese context. | Kaneko, N.
